Amidst various business and technology drivers for the manufacturing industry, we help our clients to prioritize, plan, and implement specific technology programs. Futurism' expertise in this area is built around successful client engagements, dedicated domain competency groups, and product experts who can implement industry specific packages and solutions - including engineering design and collaboration systems (CAD/CAM/PDM/e-engineering, etc.).

Typical engagements and solutions

Driven by an objective to conceptualize, design, prototype, manufacture, and market the most innovative, best quality and cost competitive products in the least possible time, manufacturing companies are exploring technology enablers such as collaborative commerce, collaborative product design and supply chain integration technologies.

Intra-enterprise and inter-enterprise integration along with supply chain collaboration in areas such as product conceptualization to design, manufacture, service and retirement is as much an imperative today as is providing backward and forward visibility into the planning and execution processes.

Competitiveness in this environment is also created by informational adequacy. Among our engagements, we have implemented business intelligence technologies and built robust knowledge management infrastructure, that help clients enhance their competitiveness by transforming information to insight.

Domain Competency

The influx of digital technologies and business models is driving firms to constantly iterate and align their business and technology strategies. It is in this context that we have a domain competency group focused on the manufacturing industry. Specifically, they look at the innovations and challenges in supply chain management as well as emerging models for collaborative product development and engineering.

Domain experts from these groups work as experts on engagements and drive Futurism' knowledge capital and thought leadership. We focus our research and competency development initiatives to build innovative process frameworks, methodologies, and reusable knowledge objects. The combination of topical thought leadership with intellectual property demonstrates innovation in solution definition and engagement delivery for our clients.
